3550 SERIES
The GP3550 is a premium, high production compactor with life expectancy that runs
to decades with reasonable maintenance. The deck features a full roll cage as standard
equipment with provisions for a water tank for asphalt compaction on AP3550. The
base plate is self-cleaning with an open sided plate design that allows material to
flow out and away from the belt/pulley assembly during operation. Both models
provide reduced hand/arm vibration, full roll cage protection, enhanced
amplitude, faster travel speed and updated yet rugged appearance.
3000-15 SERIES

GP5500 / GP7000 SERIES
GP5500 SERIES
5500
The GP5500 Series of vibratory plates
is a contractor favorite with its
combination of superlative productivity
and mechanical reliability. This versatile
compactor features a self-cleaning plate,
one-piece exciter and base plate design,
and is an especially good fit for mid
to large sized commercial/industrial
applications.
GP7000 SERIES
The GP7000 Series is MBW’s heavy
hitter for mid-sized to large jobs with
difficult soils and deep lifts of up to
30 in. (76 cm)**. Weighing 653 lbs.
(296 kg) with low frequency and high
amplitude, this hard working vibratory
plate produces 7,900 lbs. (35.1 kN)
of centrifugal force and outperforms
walk-behind rollers on most granular
applications. The GP7000 is easy to
maneuver and isolates compaction force
away from the operator. A central lifting
bail provides easy lift and transport.

The Heart and Soul
of our machines are their
rugged, hard hitting exciters.
Our exciters include an extra
heavy duty housing with
maximum surface area for
heat dissipation and strength,
and ductile eccentric shafts
that are precision ground
to preserve bearing tolerances.
The bearings are carefully
matched in design, tolerance
and type for high temperature
vibratory applications and
custom lubricants with
elevated flash points are used.
Nowhere in the world will
you find a stronger or more
dependable driving force
behind a vibratory plate.

REVERSIBLE
GPR65, GPR68, GPR77 MECHANICAL SHIFTING REVERSIBLES
The GPR 65, 68 and 77 Series are compact
reversible plates ideal for narrow trenches and
confined areas.
Heavy Duty Shifting
The heavy duty mechanical
shifting mechanism allows for
directional changes at full
speed. Endurance testing was
terminated at 400,000 shifts without
system failure – the best result MBW (and very
likely any manufacturer) has ever achieved on
a reversible plate shifting design.
GPR77
The GPR77 is a 400 lb. reversible plate. The simple
yet reliable shifting design lowers acquisition cost,
is low maintenance and provides a geo-technical
benefit in its ability to shift travel direction at
constant speed. Shifting travel direction at constant
speed greatly enhances the user’s probability of
achieving uniform density and stiffness over the
area being compacted. (See www.mbw.com for
“GPR77-Mechanical or Hydraulic Shifting”) The
GPR77 produces an amplitude of .064 inches,
travel up to 85ft/min and handles all types of
essentially granular soils.
The GPR 65, 68 and 77 are also high
production plates. Travel speeds to
92 ft/min are achieved with good
compaction conditions and the
plates move with ease over
irregular lift surfaces. Head-to-head
competitive demonstration quickly
establishes the comparative
productivity benefits of the
GPR65, GPR68 and GPR77.

COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCT
GPR78, GPR99 & GPR135 HYDRAULIC REVERSIBLE PLATES
MBW advises users to carefully consider which type of
compactor best fits the job. If there is sufficient room
to maneuver a single direction plate, productivity ,
cost and maintenance favor the single direction unit.
But where maneuverability is key, reversible plates are
the answer.
MBW’ s hydraulic shifting reversible plates solve
maintenance problems that have long plagued
this product type. MBW exciter
systems are vented to allow
for discharge of heat
generated air pressure
before damage to shifting
mechanism seals occurs.
Worn shifting seals are
readily serviced from the
outside of the exciter assembly
(US Patent, International Patents Pending), eliminating
the complicated process of opening and exposing
the exciter assembly for service purposes. Maintenance
is simplified, service time is reduced dramatically
and the precision exciter assembly is not exposed
to contamination.
All MBW hydraulic reversibles are easy to maneuver ,
featuring forward and reverse travel as well as spot
compaction. Powered by either Honda gas engines or
Hatz diesels, these reversibles have plenty of power to
tackle the toughest compaction applications.
